git-applymbox(1)
================
NAME
----
git-applymbox - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-applymbox' [-u] [-k] [-q] [-m] ( -c .dotest/<num> | <mbox> ) [ <signoff> ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message,
authorship information and patches, and applies them to the
current branch.
OPTIONS
-------
-q::
Apply patches interactively. The user will be given
opportunity to edit the log message and the patch before
attempting to apply it.
-k::
Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line
to extract the title line for the commit log message,
among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading
whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and
then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git
format-patch --mbox' output.
-m::
Patches are applied with `git-apply` command, and unless
it cleanly applies without fuzz, the processing fails.
With this flag, if a tree that the patch applies cleanly
is found in a repository, the patch is applied to the
tree and then a 3-way merge between the resulting tree
and the current tree.
-u::
Pass `-u` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
The proposed commit log message taken from the e-mail
are re-coded into UTF-8 encoding (configuration variable
`i18n.commitencoding` can be used to specify project's
preferred encoding if it is not UTF-8). This used to be
optional but now it is the default.
+
Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
conversion, even with this flag.
-n::
Pass `-n` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see
gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
-c .dotest/<num>::
When the patch contained in an e-mail does not cleanly
apply, the command exits with an error message. The
patch and extracted message are found in .dotest/, and
you could re-run 'git applymbox' with '-c .dotest/<num>'
flag to restart the process after inspecting and fixing
them.
<mbox>::
The name of the file that contains the e-mail messages
with patches. This file should be in the UNIX mailbox
format. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn about
the formatting convention for e-mail submission.
<signoff>::
The name of the file that contains your "Signed-off-by"
line. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn what
"Signed-off-by" line means. You can also just say
'yes', 'true', 'me', or 'please' to use an automatically
generated "Signed-off-by" line based on your committer
identity.
